Mortgage Broker
With a several years’ experience in financial planning and wealth management, Jonathan made the move to become a mortgage broker to help other Australians buy real estate and build the life they want.
Having built a solid property investment portfolio in his own right, he has long recognised that the biggest challenge in building wealth in real estate is getting approved for a home loan that best suits your long term goals.
Jonathan truly is a home loan expert that will keep in close contact with you, from your initial enquiry through to settlement and beyond. Your success is his success.

Testimonials
Lori & Doug
Sydney, NSW, AU
Many thanks to the team that helped us secure a home loan Jonathan Preston, Sage (Sanju) Shahi & Ajar Rajbhandari. They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. They guided us through the whole home loan application process until we received our formal approval today. There is no way we could have secured a loan on our own due to our financial situation being a bit complex one if us is on DSP. This team believed we could do it and worked with us to achieve this goal.
Their website is full of great resources. Every question I could think of is answered on their website.
Happy with the rate they secured for us! Definitely recommend Home Loan Expert team to anyone who needs efficient brokers.

We have dealt with this company twice now over the last 2 years. First they helped us to refinance our mortgage in order to buy a car and consolidate our debt all into one which seemed like an impossible task at the time. The process just seemed so overwhelming and we didn't know where to start so we contacted Jonathan. 2 years later they were proactive in getting us an even better deal with a fixed rate on our mortgage which we are very happy with. They even take the time to send us a message on our birthdays. Highly recommend and will use this service again!
